Beginning September 2026, the Voorheesville Central School District will offer a universal pre-k program (UPK) for district four-year-olds with our community partner, the YMCA.
This program is free for all who participate.
UPK classes will be held at Christ the King Early Childhood Center, 2 Sumpter Avenue, Albany, from 8 a.m. – 1 p.m. Monday – Friday. Before and after care through the YMCA will be an option for this program, however additional fees will apply.
The program runs based on the VCSD school district calendar.
Transportation to and from the program is not provided.
